Performance artist Lisa D'Amour will perform one of Yoko Ono's most famous
and controversial pieces, in which audience members are invited to cut away
pieces of her clothing with a pair of scissors. A daring and compelling
work, Cut Piece has been called "an aesthetic commentary on the complicit
relationship between individuals and the social body as a whole in its collective
behavior." D'Amour, a core member of the Playwright's Center in Minneapolis,
is a nationally recognized playwright and multidisciplinary performance
artist whose work has earned her Jerome and McKnight fellowships.
